After many months of spottily focused work, I was thrilled tonight to launch the upgraded, updated, preferred, deferred Tamworth Library website.

When Casey and I began to expand the concept he proved with wpopac into what has become Scriblio we quickly realized we would need a development partner. In order to create a tool to meet the needs and limitations of small and rural public libraries we needed to know, first hand, what the users those libraries expected from their library online. Enter Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth, NH. Serving an incredibly strong community of 2500 and with a staff who was dedicated to learning and implementing online services, Tamworth made an ideal beta site.  We learned lots and everyone was happy with the result but as Scriblio grew and evolved, it was hard to keep Tamworth up to date. With both of us working day jobs, Tamworth’s site, while always growing in popularity, fell behind the latest and greatest Scriblio developments.

Those days are over. This evening we happily launched a new tamworthlibrary.org complete with a cleaned up and consistent database and a new look. Casey and Jay (Cook’s director) were extremely patient and supportive and patient during the slow process - thanks to both of you.
